    1212Key libraries to focus on: GEOS, GDAL. Issues related to these two libraries will dictate the method you choose to use to install PostGIS 2.0.

    2626'''The bad news:''' it still installs older versions of libGDAL and libGEOS than are recommended in the [wiki:UsersWikiPostgreSQLPostGIS Support Matrix].
    2727
    28 This install will install libGDAL 1.7, instead of the recommended 1.9.
     28The packages above install will install libGDAL 1.7, instead of the recommended 1.9.
    2929
    3030First tricky thing: the existing Precise PPA for libGDAL 1.9 has been built to depend on libGEOS 3.3.2, and libGEOS 3.3.3 is listed as the preferred library in the Support Matrix.
    … …  
    3434So, let's see if we can get all of the supporting libraries to the recommended versions.

     46Verify you have the latest version of libGDAL:
     47{{{
     48$ gdal-config --version

     51
     52Looks good... what's up with libGEOS?
     53{{{
     54$ geos-config --version
     553.3.2
     56}}}
     57
     58Crud... not quite 3.3.3. On to the next step.

    3660=== Build GEOS 3.3.x ===
    37 
    38 PostGIS 2.0 requires GEOS >= 3.3.2 for topology support, however Ubuntu 11.10 only has GEOS 3.2.2 available in packages, so it needs to be built from source. If you don't need topology, you don't ''need'' to build this component, but it is highly recommended.

    4062These are the instructions for building geos 3.3.3, based on instructions found elsewhere on trac.osgeo.org with some additions determined through trial and error:
